Why is EBSCO changing the EBSCOhost user experience and interface?

Ebsco have redesigned the user interface “to meet ever-evolving user expectations for accessing, searching, choosing and using the library’s resources”. Their new interface provides a simplified cleaner look and includes some updated features.

When will the interface change?

We are planning to introduce the new interface in August 2025.

Which databases will have the new interface?

All our Ebsco databases will have the new user interface; APA PsycInfo, Art & Architecture Source, Business Source Complete, CINAHL Ultimate, eBook Collection (EBSCOhost), Education Research Complete, GreenFILE, Humanities Source, MEDLINE with Full Text, MLA International Bibliography, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, SocINDEX with Full Text and SPORTDiscus with Full Text

I have an Ebsco personal user account - will this affect me?

Yes - if you have previously set up a personal account to save search items and set up alerts, you will need to merge this account on the new interface. This link from Ebsco explains what to do - How to Merge Personal User Accounts
